glad they made this special
Overall: this special made me bump up the series rating by .5; however, the nonsense worldbuilding prevented me from rating this or the series higher. Eight and a half minutes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIcdgalcMUE&feature=youtu.beWhat I Liked
- seaside
- that we got something at the very end
- production value decent
Room For Improvement
- exposition dump
- way too long of a time jump
- more nonsense worldbuilding, so something no longer matters? why? why does a character magically regain something? and if he regained it earlier why wouldn't he immediately tell the other character who has been in a ton of pain?

Pretty moment but lacking logic...Felt more like an ad than a well-thought conclusion
A very needed epilogue that has the same flaws as the main series. with the writing being very weak and making not much sense. It has quite a bit of fanservice and at least provide a more complete conclusion to the drama even if I was still not convinced by the actors chemistry.That being said, Kou Wei Long is super pretty and charismatic, I would be curious to see him in something else...
I would not recommend this necessarily to people...But as it is only 9 minutes, if you have made it through the drama, you might as well watch the SP to get the full picture on the endgame of the romance.

I'll Turn Back This Time Extra — The Ending the Series Needed
I honestly don't see this special episode as optional. For me, it's the real ending of I'll Turn Back This Time.The main series leaves you with a bittersweet feeling that almost seems unfinished, while this extra episode provides the emotional closure the story desperately needed. It doesn't completely change what happened before, but it changes how you remember it. Instead of ending on regret, it ends on acceptance and hope.
The acting still leaves me with the same reservation I had in the main drama. I believed the affection between the characters much more than their romantic love. That feeling never completely disappeared. But because this episode focuses more on closure than on developing the romance, it works better emotionally.
Final Thought
If you've watched I'll Turn Back This Time, don't skip this special. It's short, simple, and gives the story the ending it deserved. It won't change my opinion about the chemistry between the leads, but it definitely improved my opinion of the overall drama.
